I would understand taking the fall if the sister was 14/15 - but who's going to convict a five year old of murder?
Right
Exactly! The entire film based on a decision that makes zero sense.
E X A C T LY
YES YES THANK.U
Maybe it wasn't the conviction so much that Ruth was worried about but she didn't want her little sister to grow up knowing she'd killed someone.
@@TheTruthKiwi Exactly. Her sister didn't know what she had done when they were eating breakfast together before Ruth decided to take the fall.
“The more homely brother” made me cackle. Ha! Both of you always make me laugh several times a video. Thanks!
FYI, the brother that F the wife was the brother of the brother that killed his girlfriend in Mystic River.
"the homely brother" made me chuckle too.. these two are great movie reviewers ..
She didn't want her sister to grow up knowing she killed a cop. The reason for her not remembering the past, probably blocked it off from her mind.
"The more attractive one..." 😅 AMAZING!!! Joseph, you should be a movie critic for Ioncinema! Love you both 😘
"For a film about a woman who wants to be a carpenter, they built her a shit house" Hahaha That was great.
I saw a clip of the scene between Viola and Sandra on ig and thought this was going to be about something else. Nope. This was a waste of Viola. Great review 🖤
*HI COPS. MY 5 YO SISTER ACCIDENTALLY (tell a lil lie) KILLED YR CHIEF COP. SORRY. LET'S GET HER COUNSELING AND LIFE GOES ON.*
.
It would have made more sense if the more "attractive" one did the cheating and the more "homely" one did the kidnapping
Then the plot would be too predictable 🤷♀️
Love the late night early morning uploads. Always a pleasant start to my work day
i neeeeeeed this to be a netflix limited series. i felt like i missed many depth of the storyline from the connected characters. i looooveeed the movie but pls make the story and characters have more storylines!
I think you guys are off on this one. The child-protection plotline does make some sense. They were being evicted from the home and the implication was they had no significant means; in the story we learn that the little girl was not consistently attending school and that, plus the implication that they were going to become homeless upon the eviction, it is not inconceivable that child protection would have taken the child into a foster system, separating the two. And you get the sense that the older sister was not really going to shoot anyone but was just threatening so that they would leave them alone -- she had sat the gun down and did not seem that she was intending to use it. But her rhetoric had worked the child up to believing they would be separated, and so the child made good on the older sister's threat when the sheriff entered. Bullock's age was not so much of a distraction for me, because she looks younger than her age. You are right that the prison sentence should have been shorter to make it easier to understand that the little sister was still living at home -- maybe a 15-year sentence, making her more like 20 years old rather than 25. But the no-contact order makes sense because the Bullock character was never the child's legal guardian, and even if she was, in most states after an adoption the birth parents have no right to contact the child. It makes sense here, since the older sister was convicted for committing a violent crime while resisting child-protection’s involvement, that while she was in prison she was ordered not to contact the child. The fact that the younger sister became an adult is balanced against the fact that she was struggling with mental health issues dating back to the trauma caused in the shooting, meaning there would be justification in leaving the order in place even into
In the miniseries Ruth was 17 when the incident occurred which makes more sense
Love you guys. I think I figured out the twist before Joseph spoke, cause it's a trope that's been used quite a few times in books. I read horror and thriller books, and have been for years.
100% agree. Had to watch five other reviews just raving about this film before finding you guys who ACTUALLY talked about all the things that bothered me so much!!! Ugh!! Why did she take the wrap for a 5 year old?! She wouldn’t have gone to prison! She was 5! Ugh. So annoying. Film was rushed and age gaps galore. So much potential but… no.
Ridiculous isn't it? People who buy this nonsense have no critical thinking skills or any knowledge of true crime . And why did Ruth never wash her hair? Movie was dumb. As soon as a saw that scene of the kid shooting the sheriff, I shut it off.
@@JoJo65654 so you basically calling Sandra bullock stupid because she produces the movie. I disagree with you the movie was a 10/10.
I came to say same thing.
Wtf !?!
I kept asking myself why a 5 year old wouldn't remember her sister. Then while they were at the diner I realized the kid got a bit of amnesia when she knocked herself out after shooting the rifle.
I think it was more of a ptsd thing where she blocked out the trauma as a coping mechanism
@@jazz19198 Yeah that makes sense. I thought I saw her briefly unconscious so I figured memory loss
@@DomSr she did pass out. Either scenario makes sense
she also had that big rifle butt shaped bruise across her face. It's strange the police never seemed to notice that.
I think our eyes ( the audience’s eyes) have been opened to how wonderful or how bad/ lazy writing can be and has become. I have come to the realization most not all movies that go to streaming services almost get a pass or we say to ourselves well, at least I didn’t have to pay a fortune to see this at a theater. That should not matter. Ready for more quality projects one day. I have also learned just because it has a good cast doesn’t necessarily mean it will be good. May watch but y’all’s review didn’t exactly make me want to watch.
I noticed this too and it's quite lazy. Just because it's on a streaming service doesn't make it good. Too many passes. Just like that Hellbound series👎
the 5 year would not have in trouble ,why not give her up?
You killed me when you said the more "homely" brother. That's was hilarious. Why you gotta do him like that. Hahhahahaha
Love your shirt Nick!
I like it. Kept me wondering what was gonna happen next, I liked the twist that the sister was the killer & that the brother sleeps with his brothers wife so he ends up being the one to kidnap the wrong sister. I felt like it was good writing
👍🏾
IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE!!! LOL I mean what did she think was going to truly happen to her little sister? As if she were going to get life in an adult prison. Not thought out. Thank you for the review. 🙂
She wasn't thinking about what legal action would've been taken against her but the psychological damage.
Her sister had blocked out the event, most likely as a trauma response, when she realized that her sister had forgotten about it, she decided to take the fall so her sister wouldn't grow up with the burden of being a murderer, which is even more evident in her screaming she was only 5 several times.
It's legally a dumb decision, but a heat of the moment decision made out of love and care.
I thought it was a good movie. I really didn't need to get to deep into it. Having more of a back ground on Ruth and her sister would have definitely helped the movie. I hated when Ruth tore apart all the stuff she worked on in that sad house. lol
The actress who played the lead in the miniseries was 30. 17 in the flasback, early 30s present day. Made more sense.
Oh its a mini series!. Was it any good? Where can I watch? Sorry for all the questions 😃
Most streaming service movies are just merely quick cash grabs that dont usually put a lot of stock in the writing and production value. Quickly filmed, quick release, easy money.
Looks like this movie needed a star for the movie and they tried to make the script work around an older actress.
I watch it yesterday based on your review...
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and love sandra bullocks performance... I may watch twice
A unforgivable ending would had
1.Emily shot
2. The brother killing himself after finding out that he a). Shot wrong kid b). Finding out little sister did it
3. Older brother finding out how it all played out actually and not forgiving himself for everything cause he never let it go like his brother told him.
4.On top of sleeping with his brother wife
Boom better ending
"The more homely brother--" "Their names are Keith and Steve, if that helps" RIP Spider Girl, lol!!!
She took the fall cause she knew it was her fault. she left the gun out
I never understood why Sandra bullock has a job
These 3 Things bother me the most about that movie:
1. The little Sister is 25! Why the heck must Ruth negotiate with the new Parents?? They cant decide shit anyway, because the sister is an Adult! (Potrayed in the movie like a 16 year old, but anyway....)
2. Why is the Character Viola is playing understanding right away the subjective hint in the heat of their argument, when Ruth says: ‘‘She was only 5 years old! ‘‘ ‘‘She was only 5 years old! ‘‘ In that Moment Viola is totally getting that the 5 year old shot the policeman and Ruth wanted to protect her sister. This scene is just about Viola playing a mood shift, so that she is at least playing a plottwist.
3. Ruth wasnt able to shoot the policeman, because while the shot was fired, she was at the window, visible for everyone, shouting at the police. Thats why the policeman took the backdoor, to sneak up from behind. How can Ruth shoot the policeman pretty much the moment he enters the house, when she is obviously at a different corner in the house???
Have they reviewed the bird box?
Y'all are hilarious 😂. I'm going back to watch the movie just to see how bad or not it is. I luv it
This review was a surprise. That scene between Viola and Sandra outside the house was a waste of Viola's acting? Wow I thought she did well. Not sure what I missed there. 2/5 is a disappointing score to get on a movie that includes Viola Davis and Sandra Bullock. I think sometimes, 1 hr and 54 minutes is not enough time to develop a story, especially one as serious as Unforgivable.
So you loved it?
Lol @ the more attractive one. I saw this movie at the theater and it ended up impacting me. Loved the twist-like ending. Good point about the age gap, I didn’t think of that but ur right
People reviewing this movie and most commenters here have nooooo idea of how the system works or real life poverty of both financial and educational means. People judge some choices based on their view but take a moment to watch the news and try to see if some cases make sense to you? I personally liked the movie and saw a lot of reality in it. Just bc it didn’t go around explaining every detail, doesn’t mean it’s not good. Don’t y’all have imagination anymore?!
Joseph you were think of FFA (future farmers of America)
Hi guys 😘 i’ll have to check it out!
"He kidnaped the wrong bitch" ROFL
You seem ones of the most honest out of youtube reviewers, great job.
They blew their whole budget on all these unnecessary A-list actors. Like wtf was Bernthal doing in this movie??
i agree
I really enjoy you two, even when I disagree (like in this case). I really liked Sandra’s performance in this movie and thought she did a wonderful job as this character.
I don't know what this says about me...but when you said we don't see Ruth shoot the sheriff ...I was like, the five-year-old did it. 😬😆
You are both adorable to watch, so handsome!
On me WTF I couldn't even skip the ads I had to watch both of those, CZcams fooln
this was great !!
Sandra bullock reminds me of the woman from the movie monster...Thanks for the review guys..Im going to avoid this like the plague
This was ok. My whole thought throughout the movie was “more Viola please”
I guess one needs to see the movie before one can comment on it.
.....O and the piano recital was too die for... emotions ran high
I started watching this movie halfway through and I thought it was really good 😅
Guess I'll have to watch it again and pay attention this time lol..
This movie wasn't that bad, but no way she gets parole for cop killing. I don't care how good she was in prison.
Never has happen in history
They probably had not enough evidence but her confession so it’s implied the lawyer could have got her off but that meant digging into stuff so she just took the plea they had nothing on her really so it make sense she would get off early . Cuz she did nothing.
The Nightingale was a painful, truthful, horror story. The actress was wasted in this tripe crap.
Omg I knew i recognized her from somewhere! Yes she was great in that one, definitely deserves better projects.
Sandra's acting was great and love the dynamic of big sister looking out for the little one but overall didn't work for me.. supporting characters felt fragmented and no cohesiveness to the story
Too much acting talent for this to be so disappointing. Shame. Hopping over to your Don't Look Up review and hoping it's better! *fingers crossed*
As someone who works in the meat industry that scene where Sandra Bullock got beat up by that woman in the fish factory (shouting cop killer) was so over the top and unrealistic. In the real world, that woman who beat her up would have got an instant dismissal (despite whether Sandra is a convict or not) and both of them would have at least ended up in a boss's office...... But Sandra just walks it off and washes her face in a production sink, spits out blood and continues to contaminate all the meat. Most of the characters motives and development were never fully explored. And those brothers seeking revenge was hilariously stupid. But the highlight was the scene where Bullock screams "SHE'S ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD!!!! SHE WAS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD!!!" LMAO! She could have told people about this from the beginning? There was a kid that accidentally shot his own mother in walmart and never went to juvie or prison or nothing. Everything was just too convenient for drama and the plot.
Her sister blacked out the shooting so she took the blame to protect little sister from the guilt, shame and trauma of being a murderer. I don't know why this isn't obvious to everyone.
Good movie could had used a better ending
Her little sister was a victim. It’s common for offenders to have a “no contact” w/ the victims.
I loved the movie it was really good and Actually there's kids young as 8 being put in jail
I enjoy more in this movie that some oscar awarded movie.
One of the reasons I stopped relying on Rotten Tomatoes is that they CELEBRATE TRASH and TRASH GREATNESS!!!😳You are doing exactly that here for absolutely filmsy reasons! UNFORGIVABLE is a MASTERPIECE, Period!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💪🏽👍🏼
Masterpiece? How do you feel about Spam?
@@fishjellyfilmreviews One human's SPAM is another human's CAVIAR! I LOVED the Movie. I ENJOYED it to the fullest!!!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 You were likely looking for FAULTS everywhere!!! So you can CRITICISE and feel good about yourself!!! Sad way of living!!!👎🏽 When LIFE is so SHORT!!!🤔🤔🤔
@@advsenzoncube5869 I think The Unforgivable is your caviar.
To beautiful men MEN
It was a great movie in my opinion.
❤❤❤❤❤viola davis
Review Inventing Anna
Yeah, in the miniseries Ruth was 17 when the cop(s) were shot which makes more sense. I felt the emotion when they hugged at the end but it would've been great to see everyone find out, especially the sheriff's sons, that Ruth wasn't the murderer. Also, maybe Ruth took the rap because she didn't want her 5yo sister growing up knowing she'd killed someone, the fact that the 5yo couldn't be convicted was irrelevant.
I thought it was a good flick though and worth a watch. Apparently the original miniseries is very good and is probably better though.
I enjoy you all so MUCH!!
I thought it was great!
I just watched the trailer, too bad it's not so great!!!
The more attractive one................Steve lol ur both amazing
It was a decent movie but the flash backs showing her still looking middle aged was distracting. Good review guys. 😘
I just have to tell you do not know about trauma and how/have come back from it.... the father killed him self and mammy was alcoholic x
I personally don’t think that every plot point in a movie needs to be wrapped up in a perfect bow. There are arcs within arcs, I don’t feel the need to follow these characters for 5 years to see how their lives play out. All the stories, to me, were to develop the main character and they had good conclusions with themselves.
Good for you
Honestly this movie made no sense, like yea she didnt do it, but the precident was that she was going to and to do that around a 5 year old I had no sympathy for Ruth the whole movie, if anything in think she deserved everything in the movie and it should've ended with the dude taking her out. Sounds cruel but I just don't think it made sense cause they put this whole cop kid in there and his trauma only to give up after a horrific betrayal as if it never happened. Someone at Netflix was either super drunk or this was a bad movie....
A classic Sally Wainwright screenplay, fantastic as always. Now watch the original tv series, Sally’s a genius
This movie is stupid why take the blame for a 5year olds actions and go to prison for 20 stupid plot stupid movie
I really like Sandra, but someone needs to tell her that she can no longer pass for a 40 year old woman. She couldn't a few years ago for Bird Box, and she STILL can't. She's 57 years old, and that's FINE. I really wish she would create more age-appropriate roles for herself and other older women in the field, instead of trying to shoe-horn herself into roles that don't work. She should take a page out of Diane Lane's book.
It appears you are not aware that some people look years older than their actual years.
@@adelaidemarie she was extra haggard in this role 🤦🏿
I was laffing how ridic. Fish man was courting her... bish. . That's not how guys roll chasing unsexy unsmiling unfeminne grandma
.
@@007nadineL 😂
Maybe I'm evil. But people should at least remember their own crimes 🙂
I think sandra bullock always looked older and has somewhat of a severe look. She is often miscast in my opinion. Thank you for the review! You guys are great and need to do a live reaction episode where we can all have some wine and enjoy in real time!
That’s a fun idea.
I'm going to say it, she's has a horse face but made up, she's pretty. Her drabness in this movie kept irking me 🤦🏿
I would love this! Maybe a live reaction to a classic movie would be fun
Maybe you should write down what points to cover in what order. This review was so muddled, that it actually made the movie sound really confusing.
Also the white guy needs to interact more and speak up.
Also, ruth felt that if she left the home, child services would take her sister. Her mother died at birth, father commited suicide and left them destitute and desperate.
This is my forst time visiting your channel as other reviewers (rlm, stuckman, decker shadow etc)
You only get one chance at a first impresssion.
The people who subscribe to our channel seem to like how we do things.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews it's true people do love trash. Then again, the big cities are full of trash human beings.
Umm get out of here, then. 🤬 They always introduce themselves before they start, so put some respect on Nick's name.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Yes, we do. 😊
@@QueenNaestar I am just saying that production quality and the actual structure of content is important. As someone who is new to the channel, a first impression, I was giving feedback. Now some toxic people cant take feedback and want to tell me they are above improvement... What can I do?
Vincent & Viola are the best part of this movie. I would have watched a movie of just them.
I watched this film with my girlfriend and she was crying and all emotional during the film and I was just confused on why. Until I figured out after watching this. The film has no characters or strong plot lines. It’s empty. Sandra did a great job playing against type. But it’s a shitty script.
How does a 5 year old know how to use a gun 🙄 unrealistic
Sadly, in America that is not uncommon. Many people teach their little kids how to shoot.
Just this summer a woman was shot to death, by her toddler, during a Zoom call. Another was shot by her little child whilst she was driving.
If you looked up the statistics on how many kids in the USA die from accidentally shooting themselves and each other, you would be shocked. As a Paramedic, there are 2 calls that are permanently burned into my brain.
I envy your life, that you think it is unrealistic.
I hate to say it, but if you lived in the South, you wouldn't have thought twice about it. Kids hunt in the morning before school/class here and go to school wearing camouflage jackets. A LOT of them have been using guns since 5, or have seen their parents do it enough to be dangerous. I also live in a military community, so the gun culture is real. That said, it's absolutely not just a southern thing. Remember the case in Arizona (2014) where the 9-yr old girl accidentally shot the firing range instructor in the head (with an UZI, a sub-machine gun!) while her parents (vacationing from N.J.) video'd the whole thing? The owner of that range admitted that they had allowed children as young as 5 shoot there. So, yeah, 5 year olds know how to shoot guns. [sigh]
@@Saffron-sugar Bless your heart. I CANNOT imagine.
The movie was boring. Bullock looked dry, like ET when he died. Complete mess.
😅😅😅
😭
I will probably get raked over the coals doe this comment but I thought the movie was just ok. It was extremely boring and predictable.
that's not a coal raking worthy comment. I think your good
This needed to be a limited series but I am sorry but Sandra Bullock was TOO OLD for this project. 57-20=37 so why a 37 year old woman was raising a 5 year old sister? This whole series is messed up by the miscasting of Sandra.
Typical American train crash , make it up as you go plot. Bullocks facial expression looks like the wind changed after she read the script and got stuck with a constipated look that was soooo depressing. Ho Hum😴😴😴🤭🤭🤭
